the mock mingle

[An hour ago you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, awakened by a chirpy, feminine voice coming from the device on your non-dominant arm. The voice cheerfully requests that you exit your sleeping quarters and to please make your way to the the main deck of the ship for a debriefing on your circumstances.

It was around this time you might have noticed the clothes you last remember wearing are gone and replaced with this little number. If you take a moment to check out the Personal Identification Program on your arm, you'll find a touch screen with a few icons that lead to a series of 21 profiles and a series of apps that lead to note-taking functions and a number of customization appearance screens. The profiles all contain a photo of each Champion, their name and title, their age, species and world of origin.

As you stumbled out of your chrome-y quarters (into an equally chrome-y hallway), with every step the floor lights up under your feet, illuminating the dark ship a little at a time. On one side of the hallway are a series of mechanical doors with screen pads embedded on the walls next to them. A quick flash of your PIP will open them for you without hassle. On the opposite side of the hallway are a long string of windows showing nothing but vast amounts of stars and the deep, dark blackness of deep space. Once you reach the end of the hallway you'll find a large central living space with 20 other people, the same people from the profiles, either there already or filing in along with you. Floating well above everyone's heads in the middle of the room is a large computer screen. Once everyone piled in, the screen blinked to life and the same voice from your PIPs greeted you in the same peppy tone from before.

The voice introduced herself as the Champion Excellence Control Environment or C.E.C.E. before welcoming you to the Deep Space Champion Excellence Program, explaining that you were selected for this program based on being the best in your particular field in your particular world, hence the title of "Champion". In this program you will be expected to live communally together here on the ship for as long as possible. The ship is fully-functional and fully-stocked for an extended stay.

Oh? You don't want to stay and participate in the program? That's alright, there's an easy fix to that! All you have to do is kill one of your fellow Champions and not get caught. That is easy enough, right? Right.

When the debriefing is complete, the screen dims but doesn't turn off completely. If need be C.E.C.E. is available to answer any more questions you have throughout the week. For now, you're free to explore the ship as you like. There's the communal dining hall, a zero gravity room, a kitchen, a holo deck, the central living area and the personal quarters everyone woke up in.

Go make some friends, dears, you may be here a while.]

Very little is truly impossible. Their reasons, however, could be anything from leverage against those who value our presence to merely their own depraved amusement. Or perhaps they wish to prove a point.
semperperatus: (john heard really)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Believe me, I have.

[And lived to regret every last girl. Except one.]

Yeah, that's me. Jack of all disasters.

[With the prefix -nado!]

A long time ago.

[She still believes, though.]
strikemonster: (so i don't get all the ladies)

[personal profile] strikemonster 2017-01-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's not the point. [Would you dare someone to eat something that tasted good? C'mon, Shadow.] It all tastes bad. The least you can do is make it more interesting.

I mean, in such a closed space.

[It's about how many were in her class but this felt different somehow.]
have_a_heart: Bad reaction in an imagine spot. (oh. no. bad acting.)

[Her profile says "age: 16 + ???", whatever that's supposed to mean, but she's clearly small for her age. She tilts her head a little, but otherwise doesn't emote.]

I wondered if you were dead.

Yikes. That's...

[ His face falls, truly and honestly sad. Give him a moment, that's really sad news. He takes a long drink. Pour one out for laser tag... ]

That's just so sad. I had no idea things in Japan were that awful.

[ Barney NO ]
have_a_heart: Kanade dressed as Red Riding Hood. (i guess we're running now)

...Is that healthy?
semperperatus: (just realized so many r3 hand jokes)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not.

[Though it's a shock he's still alive!

............]


Why?...Are you?

have_a_heart: Kanade in Yuri's scope. (targeted)

...You also?

[Lineface. What is with this girl.]
semperperatus: (LET'S WORK TOGETHER BABY HAND IN HAND)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
...I was finishing my sentence,

[did you pay attention to anything he said?]
have_a_heart: Kanade disappointed. (so now what)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Sometimes people say that sort of thing.

[Frederica Irving / 1018 / Champion of Suspended Animation. Well, she can't complain about it being inaccurate, although maybe the age is JUST A LITTLE MISLEADING?]

Everywhere

[Ricky is pretty much everywhere on Monday, and everywhere she goes, she's using the note-taking function on her PIP (which she's figured out pretty quickly) to make a map of the accessible area. She's striving for detail and accuracy, because knowing her surroundings might be a matter of life and death later--whether because someone decides they're ready to go home, or because there's some other danger they haven't been told about.

So that's why she's carefully exploring every corner, even places like closets and cabinets, and dutifully marking everything.]


Kitchen

[...here, though, she takes a moment to more thoroughly investigate the food, and at first glance it doesn't meet her approval. She skeptically picks out something that kind of looks like a really ugly bathroom tile, and frowns at it.]

Is this really food?

Zero-G Room

[Things go a lot better for her here now than they did on the test drive. Ricky quickly decides she needs to spend some extra time here and get used to moving in zero gravity--again, it could be a lifesaving skill on a spaceship. Her actual purpose here quickly slips her mind, though, and before long she's spinning through the air in various directions, having some much-needed fun, completely unaware that anyone else is here.]

have_a_heart: Kanade in the shadows. (your enemy by default)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
...Because they think we are in the way.

Nice. Up top!

[ Barney throws up a hand. This calls for a high five, bro. ]

You like, a paramedic or something?
have_a_heart: Kanade linefacing cluelessly. (i don't know why you even bother)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[A long, awkward pause.]

That should not change with a bodysuit.
have_a_heart: Kanade plays the piano (be at peace)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
You were sitting there with no response. People often take time to recover when they realize they are dead.
strikemonster: say my job is easy (you watch me on your tv)

[personal profile] strikemonster 2017-01-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
You could try to remove a cabinet door, in that case. [Not that she thinks it'll work, but maybe you're stronger than her.] But you're probably right, given that we're not allowed more than two kills.

[Freeze-dried space food. Ricky has heard about this phenomenon, but she never thought it would happen to her. In fact, until this morning, she was quite certain she'd permanently escaped the possibility of ever encountering this stuff.]

Does that really make a difference?
semperperatus: (*air guitar*)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-01-10 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[High five!...? He chuckles. Pretty odd this guy wouldn't know. Then again, giant talking mutant hedgehogs.]

Not exactly. I've got first aid certification, and lifeguard training, but I'm more of a...

[...Uh, what the hell even is he, honestly?]

Consulting expert on certain types of disasters.

[ CECE sounds hot already. ]

So are they the dudes behind this thing? You've got cameras and stuff, I'm guessing? They work in color or black and white?

[ He... he has cameras in his apartment, thus isn't even weird. ]

What's "good behavior" count as here?
